The quorum is the minimum number of jurors that need to be
present for a state grand jury to be able to conduct business, such as considering whether
charges should be brought against someone or investigating criminal activity or the
conduct of public business in the community. The list below gives the minimum number of
grand jurors needed for a grand jury to convene in each state. Since a few states use
different-sized grand juries for different purposes, some of the entries list quorums of
different sizes (such as "14 or 8 or 12"). These numbers give the quorum needed
for the various kinds of grand juries used in that state. The entry NA indicates
that because of the small size of the state's grand juries, no quorum is specified. The
last entry for each state is a citation to the statute or court rule that sets the quorum
for the grand jury.
